Anakin: The best and worst thing to happen to Battlefront 2
We all love this man, he is the Chosen One, the greatest Jedi to ever be apart of the Star Wars Universe. The character most players love and want to be. A hero; that is envied by every player not fast enough to select him on the loading screen. Who is so popular, that you will never find one match without him dominating the battlefield using his stupid "Fun begins" emote. And since Anakin's release, I noticed there has been a major shift in the balance of this game with players lucky enough to get to play on the light side all because of the almighty Anakin Skywalker. Today, when you enter HvV or Galactic assault match the player will notice that the only one at the top of the leaderboards or close to it is usually Anakin if you are lucky enough to get him and score 30+ kills per match. Can anyone honestly say that there isn't a pattern here? No other hero is even capable of scoring that high because of their lack of power compared to him. It is because this hero was developed to be too powerful for most players to defeat unless you don't have any brain cells to simply pull, might, and slash or retribution when getting ganged up on and instantly kill. Sometimes not even entire teams together can defeat Anakin because he goes turtle mode and kills everyone instantly how is that fair? How is it fair that Anakin is the only one with four abilities? With his Force Pull he will drag you to him with almost unlimited range from way across the map so you cannot escape, then while you are down he will heroic might quickly so you cannot get up and kill you every time. How is this fair to the other characters in the game that can't counter him? One of the only heroes that even comes close to Anakin is Vader because his health is so large he can take Anakin's heat for a bit but is no match for his Passionate strike and then lightsaber spamming to death. But as for everyone else? they usually die engaging him, because as Anakin says when he spams when he kills you with no skill "nothing happens by accident". Um yeah because you were designed by dice to destroy everything and be the potential cause of why everyone leaves the match when they are down to 2 targets versus a solid 10. It should be a red flag for dice when people constantly leave matches when Anakin single handedly destroys the other team with little effort. The game is unbalanced, and If he isn't nerfed soon I believe the player base will slowly deteriorate more and more over time, because it just is not fun playing dark side when you are constantly killed by a noob that just button mashes with Anakin and can do nothing to stop him.
